The Hugene can be customised down to the smallest detail using Propain’s online configurator. How does it fare in our 2022 trail bike group test?
Comprehensive online configurator
Excellent climbing performance
Playful and agile downhill
Stiff rear suspension costs traction
Long seat tube with short dropper post

On its website, Propain boldly calls the Hugene the "one bike to rule them all." Has the German direct-to-consumer brand finally cracked the code?
Neutral, intuitive handling
Efficient climber
Lightweight
Lots of customization options in Europe
Sealed bearing covers
Less small-bump sensitivity than some bikes we tested
Ineffective frame port protection
Few customization options in the US

A true all-rounder, with performance that impressed on every trail we tested it
Incredibly composed rear suspension that doles out traction with generosity
Beautifully built, sleek carbon frameset that’s got a great shape
You can pick and choose parts
A little pedal bob when mashing the pedals
